I have set up an Ubuntu 10.10 server with SAMBA shares and Apache web server. Everything was working fine. Then there was a power failure and after I restarted the server the XP pc's can see the server using the hostname. They can only see it using the ip adress. I haven't change anything on server or client side. Just the restart of the server.
View 3 RepliesI have a network of 2 WinXP machines and one linux box. I have fiddled around with the settings as you do when learning. The network is working. The network neighbourhood on the WinXP machines recognise the linux box and vice versa, (the linux Places|Network recognises the 2 WinXP). I can Ping the linux box using its hostname from a WinXp. But I cannot do the reverse. I get an 'unknown host' response. I can ping the linux to itself using its hostname.

If I try doing,ping <hostname>then I get the messageping: unknown host <hostname>however, if I doping <hostname>.localthen I get a response back. I was wondering how I can change it so that I can ping without having to append .localI've installed winbind and modified my /etc/nsswitch.conf file but this has made no difference.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an ubuntu 10.04 server with hostname "abc.domain.com". However, due to migration, we had to change to hostname to something else, "xyz".
I have done changing /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and run /etc/init.d/hostname start.
Checking the hostname and all shows it is now using hostsname of xyz. However, email sending out is still using old hostname. We have some scripts that will send out alerts like failed rsync or hdd space full to my email account. But I see the sender is still "root@abc.domain.com".
How do change that to xyz? I am using postfix. I have edited main.cf and restarted postfix but no go.
I'm having an issue on two Fedora Core 13 machines where I can ping others by hostname, but the hostname resolution fails whenever I use ssh/scp/vnc/etc. I can still do these things by IP address, just not by hostname. RHEL5.3 machines on the same network with the same configuration do not seem to have this problem.
Here's the not-so-quick-and-dirty description of the situation:
I know that there is a virtual router at 192.168.31.1 and another at 192.168.30.1. I also know that there is another network (let's call it 90.90.90.0) and on that network lies a number of resources. By nature of this configuration, any machine on 90.90.90.0 can be accessed by any 192.168.x.x, but not the other way around. Beyond that is out of my hands and currently out of my scope of knowledge.
I have a dnsmasq server on 90.90.90.10 that operates as a secondary nameserver, another machine out of my sphere of influence is the primary nameserver (90.90.90.31).
The secondary nameserver on 90.90.90.10 holds the hostnames of our development machines. The problem is that in some cases, while I can ping by hostname all day long, services such as ssh, scp, vncviewer, etc all fail to resolve the hostname. In other cases I can do all of these things.
Every machine has an equivalent resolv.conf:
As an example, I will show the output of a handful of my development machines:
I also included columbia as a one-way test -- even though it cannot access 30.x or 31.x, they can access it:
columbia -- physical machine, Red Hat Enterprise 5.3, IP 192.168.100.200
Okay, so here are the various outputs. Remember, nibbler, discovery, and atlantis can ALL:
- Ping by IP address
- Ping by hostname
- ssh, scp, vnc, etc by IP addess
Additionally, the SERVFAIL reply from 90.90.90.31 is expected since my dnsmasq server is on the secondary server.
Note that the only machine that can both ping and ssh/scp/etc by hostname is nibbler, which also happens to be the only one of the three running RHEL5.3 instead of FC13. Other virtual and physical machines running on the 192.168.31.0 and 192.168.30.0 networks (all running RHEL5.3) work just like nibbler does. So the problem seems to only affect machines running FC13.
Final note: selinux is disabled, iptables is disabled, ip6tables is disabled.
Other than that, discovery is a brand-spanking-new install straight off of the FC13 DVD. atlantis has been around longer, but its just a file server so I haven't done anything too crazy to it.
What is the right way to specify hostname(in local linux box, not in DNS server):
myhost1
or
myhost1.mydomain1
I've recently set up an Ubuntu server and from within the network I can do several things like: log in via SSH, transfer files via FTP, and remotely control Torrents from other computers. My end goal is to be able to access these services by using my dyndns hostname (example.dyndns.org)from an external network.
When I type my dyndns name in my web browser it opens up my router page. How would I set things up so that I can just type my dyndns hostname to point directly to my server, instead of the router page?
All computers are connected to a router which is connected to an ADSL modem, with automatically assigned I.P addresses.
I've completed the installation of a CentOS server.Running the setup utility as root, ive set up a static IP and installed apache. Now this works ok. I can type in the servers IP address from my browser/putty/winSCP and access the server within the intranet. The problem is that i would also like to access the server using its hostname, e.g. http://centos or whatever Currently i cannot do it. I've searched the forums, edited the /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hosts to no avail no matter what i do i cannot access it. i've disabled some services so im not sure if this is the fault.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using samba version 3 (probably), and the problem is that the linux based nas can only be accessed via its ip 192.168.x.x but not its hostname /server string appointed by the smb.conf file:
Code:
[global]
netbios name = NAS
server string = NAS
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
[Code]....
Server has been moved to a different locations and so the IP has been changed now the hostname is changed to something other that what it was before.
Could it be the rDNS that is causing this?
Note: this is not a DHCP connection.
As the title suggest, I have downlaoded the latest copy of Ubuntu Server from the ubuntu website.Everything installed fine. DHCP configured ok as far as I can tell. I can ping other machines on my network (which are running Windows) and they can ping the Ubuntu machine and conenct to Apache which is running on it.If I try to ping google.com or any other domain, it gives the correct IP address but gives no response to any pings, dont telnet on port 80 (or any toher potr for that matter) on any machine on the internet. I checked the settings using ifconfig to see what DHCP had assigned, and they matched the windows machines configuration (other than the IP address obvisouly). I tried assigning a static IP, even reserving a particular IP for my NIC.
Whatever I do, i cant connect to any machine outside the network via IP or domain.I have searched everywhere and tried everything i can find on the net but still to no avail.The Windows machines are part of a domain called alcom-uk.local and run off of a Windows Small Business 2003 Server. Not sure if i need to manually setup Ubuntu to connect using a domain or anything.

I have read a lot of documentation but it is still hard to find a proper answer to my doubts.About the hostnames in a domain, how is it associate to a determinated port?
For example, when I type on the browser webmail.sparc86.net and then I get redirected to the port of 20000 of this same domain. Fine, but how does it work that it knows it should be redirected to the port 20000? From where is this information (the association webmail-port 20000) taken? The apache will manage this, right? But what about other services like ftp?Another example, If I wrote my own software listening, let's say on the port 40000 and I want to have a domain like "mystuff.sparc86.net" how would I let it be redirected to the port 40000 ?
I just finished installing ubuntu server 9.10 - fairly new. I couldn't run SSH when I use IP address of the server. I've also setup DynDNS that returns responses when I ping. SSH works fine when I use the hostname of my server (leopard) but SSH doesn't work when I use IP.I was expecting IP for "eth0" something starting with 192.168.x.x as are my other computers running WIN on the same network.Any ideas why
1) Why am I not able to run SSH from IP assigned to server by DHCP. It works when I use machine hostname (leopard)
2) Why SSH isn't working from DynDNS web hostname when it responses back the ping command.
ok so when i sudo apt-get update i get a bunch of crap that says no address associated with hostname
ive googled this and changed my /etc/hosts to all sorts of things and no luck apache wont even work now either. this server is for a few websites the company i work for hosts. currently i swaped it over to another windows based comp but we want it on ubuntu.

I have a Windows 7 machine that I have an installation of Ubuntu 10.10 via VMware and am having an issue with pinging by hostname thorugh the VM. From the Windows 7 machine I can ping by name without any issue but not with the VM. I have the VM as bridged so it is pulling all the network stuff via DHCP including the correct DNS servers. I can ping all the DNS servers and host without any issue. I have verified my /etc/resolv.conf entries are all correct.
If I run nslookup via the VM it says:

I have also verified that AVAHI is running to cache the DNS stuff and still no success.
Im using bind9 as DNS server on my LAN, but it does not seem to translate its own hostname correctly for some reason. Other hosts is translated correctly, the problem only seems to apply to the DNS host itself. if i "ping <server_hostname>" from the server, it translates correctly. But if i "ping <server_hostname>" from the client it only says "unknown host" The client has the correct DNS-server assigned. How can i start troubleshooting this?

How do I check/setup that only the server can send mail (maybe by IP or hostname)? I have a debian server that sends mail through the PHP mail() function with no problems. The server uses sendmail. My concern is how do I make sure only the server itself can send mails through that server. Because it would be bad if spammers would use it as a relay server.

- PHP5
- Apache2
- MySQL 5
- PHPmyadmin

During a request of a VPS, the provider asks me for a hostname and for the VPS I have requested which will run on a Debian. I entered 'dryaf' as hostname. What I want to do with this VPS is to point a website to its IP. I learn that I can create a vhost and configure VPS to redirect each domain name to its folder using vhost but I didn't learn any importance for hostname I don't think it should be mandatory localhost or has the form domain1.com so during request I just tipped dryaf for the hostname of the VPS. Should the hostname follows a special rule for giving it a name or no?
